Where the Land Meets the Sea

Waves came faster, foaming white wishes
through my desert imagination

flying like herons over cattle
grazing deeply in the greenest field

breaking into random molecules
misting our pale Midwestern shoulders

yet we are mesas, cacti, and sun
our memories run like grains of sand

through some stranger’s dark and trembling hand
